Deleting a Page in Google Doc

Isn’t it irritating when you are in the middle of working on a long document, then suddenly you found out your document has unnecessary blank pages? Here are the reasons why:

• Could it be that you might have accidentally pressed “Ctrl + V”(shortcut keys for “copy”) twice or more times
• Somebody or you might have pressed the “Enter” key, thus resulting in too many blank pages.
• You might have accidentally hit the “ctrl + enter” (shortcut keys for page break).
• Margins were not correctly set.

Well, don’t get alarmed. It is just a minor problem that can be easily fixed in no time. Here are some helpful methods in getting rid of and deleting blank pages:

• Option 1: Place the cursor at the last letter of the page, then press and hold the delete button key until those unwanted pages are deleted. This will resolve the issue from repeated copies of paragraphs.
• Option 2: Drag your cursor at the end of the last letter before the blank page until you reach the previously blank page, then holding the backspace button on your keyboard until you get rid of those unwanted blank pages.
• Option 3: You can highlight and delete the blank pages you want to get rid of then press the delete button key.
• Option 4: Adjusting your margins can be done by shrinking it down a bit. To do this,
• Go to “File” located at the upper left side of the toolbar.
• A drop-down menu from the menu bar will be shown to you. At the bottom of the menu, you’ll see the word “Page Setup” click it so you can adjust your margins. Margin settings might have caused those extra pages and are trying to insert too large of margin size on the bottom of the document. Simply shrink that down by adjusting the margins.

This should resolve your problem from those unwanted blank pages and get back to the correct number of pages you want in your document. Hopefully, we have given you the perfect solution to your Google docs problem.
